[okfn-discuss] Lingoes Project

Mon Jan 4 17:44:48 UTC 2010

I just came across the Lingoes Project which seems to claim that the
Open Knowledge Foundation endorses it in some way:

  http://www.lingoes.pk/

"Thanks to the Lingoes Project, the wait is over, finally! The Open
Knowledge Foundation is most happy to announce that there is now one
such desktop software available that can take care of all your
dictionary requirements, absolutely FREE!"

If its the same OKF, I'm not quite sure where this claim comes from.
This is the first I've heard of the project. Does anyone else know
anything about it? Furthermore, the material doesn't look very open.
Seems to be under a non-commercial license:

Your website says:

"The Open Knowledge Foundation is most happy to announce that there is
now one such desktop software available that can take care of all your
dictionary requirements, absolutely FREE!"

Could you please clarify in what way the Open Knowledge Foundation
endorses this product?

I am from the Open Knowledge Foundation and this is the first I have
heard of the Lingoes project. Unless you mean a different Open
Knowledge Foundation?

Warm regards,
